摘要
A new account of human postnatal functional brain development, interactive specialization (IS), is introduced and applied to one important domain of human development: the social brain. Behavioural, ERP and fMRI evidence from newborns, infants and children in face processing tasks is briefly reviewed, and is shown to be consistent with predictions from the IS account. Conclusion: It is suggested that this new view of functional brain development can also be applied to other domains of typical and atypical human development.
